Whether you’re renovating a bathroom or installing a new one, getting the right shower will mean the difference between high-pressure jets of water and a lukewarm tickle. Read on to discover the main types of shower available, and which is best suited to your home’s water system. The key types of shower Electric Quick and easy to install, electric showers draw on a cold-water supply and heat the water on demand so you can jump in at any time of day. They’re also extremely economic – up to 99.7 per cent energy efficient – as the cold water is heated by an element, providing hot water instantly , with no wastage.

Gravity- fed mixer showers : Traditional mixer showers use the same water that feeds your kitchen, laundry and bathroom. With part of the water descending from the cold-storage tank and mixing with water from the hot-water storage, the weight of water will depend on where the loft tank is in relation to the shower head. Have your plumber determine if an extra pump will be needed to avoid a feeble spit from the ‘head’ of water: 0.5bar is the minimum for anything approaching an invigorating feed — 3-4m distance between shower head and tank should be enough. Shower pumps for gravity-fed, low pressure: To opt into the luxury of say a tower shower ( added directional jets from an upright column) demands pressure. Pumps deliver more water per minute through ...
